Andrew Kennedy

On Armistice Day, Andrew Kennedy reflects on his personal experiences with the poems and music of World War One.

I have always enjoyed singing in English, and as a tenor am particularly lucky to have all the repertoire in song and opera that Benjamin Britten wrote for Peter Pears. So English song is a natural progression, and, thanks to competitions such as Cardiff Singer of the World song competition, my career as a recitalist has continued to flourish, and not been overshadowed by opera, as happens to so many singers.
